Back in the early days of 2006 I started learning how to plan wars. The first one - Outer Ring - was a disaster, which snowballed into an even uglier loss in Cloud Ring. But after learning from Death, Nync and Mactep in Insmother campaign, I've had the opportunity to murder my way from Scalding Pass down to Feythabolis and over to Delve and back again.
There's no guide about how to plan a conquest of a sovereign region. Maybe a hundred people in the entire game have had an opportunity to plan a war, and only a handful have been successful. So I wrote the book.
2300 words, probably 70% of the galaxy's conquerable regions taken at one point or another, 4.5 years of bloody experience.

Maybe but after losing fountain PL actually got better. Goons have just stagnated into a NC pet that isn't capable of doing anything on their own but farming deklein while the NC keeps BOB from taking them in the butte again. I really don't see how they should be writing guides on anything but PVE.

Is being a horrible poster a requirement to be in PL?

'weakest leak'
Interesting read. Could've happily read more. How significantly do you feel that an alliances underlying confidence (miss-placed or otherwise) in its ability to handle a major conflict solo, defines its attitude to its allies?

I can see it now... PL's book released and on the shelves.

Yes in the same way being a horrible player is a requirement in Goonswarm Federation/Solodrakban or whatever the alliance your in is called.

I would think more of a source of pride, judging by the enthusiasm with which they **** out terrible posts.
Also, I'm not sure calling someone out on losing a region because they didn't pay thier bills (:goons:) is a good idea when your alliance was forcibly removed from your own region not too long ago.
Pot and kettle and all.
I'm not even going to touch the super-cap thing

You still mad that for the second time the game changing blow came from within BOB/IT, but never stop from taking credit while telling stories in retrospect.
There can still be a third time

At least tri had the dignity to die. Unlike goonswarm which after all of their terrible setbacks in Syndicate and Cloud Ring finally realized that the best they could do is to be a NC meatshield in deklien.

looks like i made fpshacker lose his cool both here and on kugu, but i guess that doesn't take much
**** i've sky marshalled/warplanned. not always solo; spent a lot of time during the 2008 years having vicious arguments with suas about basically everything
2006: outer ring 1 -> cloud ring 1 syndicate/vcbees learning from mactep/death/nync in insmother scalding pass and wicked creek played a much greater role the cache invasion that wasn't which became the ISS proxy war in catch tenerfis and detorid, death of lv ~pause for threadnaught, sesfan saves the day~ back in the saddle for omist, feyth invasion of eso begins, molle calls retreat and abandons all ascn space so part of eso, paragon soul don't count as real conquest just mopping up delve 1: successful conquest of qy6, war planners get overeager and invade nol prematurely, we run out of gas and give up
intermission: i pay off like 60k of law school debts and lay the groundwork for retiring, don't play much eve here. someone decides it's a good idea to conquer geminate
delve 2: sky marshaling for the gsf component. q, d, pb. nothing much interesting happens except the eso vs sysk thing, which was dbrb. i tried to salvage it but it didn't work and so i pulled the plug great welp, give order to abandon delve and move to syndicate cloud ring 2 i'm sort of half-around for but not really engaged. can't remember if i did much planning at all, don't think so. was only six months ago, so ??? memory should be better cloud ring 3 and fountain i have some oversight and direction but it's pretty much all rydis as she learns the ropes of sky marshalling because this **** is :effort: as **** if you're ceoing at the same time
wrap it up, k/dailures~

It sounds like your the one losing your cool. I think your just upset because instead of your yapping little goonies all reading that trash and posting about how great you are, people who have actually been in the leadership of successful alliances are calling you out on how underqualifed you are to write anything about running a successful spaceships campaign.
Also I would still like to see you make that list into a timeline.

Wait, so your measuring stick of how good an Alliance is, is that if they don't have the strength to continue, despite numerous setbacks?
So you're saying that an Alliance who rallies DESPITE being defeated at some point, is bad?
I guess the allies should have lost WW2 by that logic.

I'm sorry, I know you must think you are not mad at all right now but I'd like to know something. Are you having real life health issues? Like despression or burn out? Are you a stressed person because of "tough times"? Is there anything happening to you in real life (cheating wife, death of your animal, a boss that would really need a beating etc) affecting your behavior online? Anything that would make us, the readers of your :smug: / **** poasts, deviate your real, maybe in fact great, personality?
Because I would really like to start using metaphors and ironic statements to laugh at you and your poast but want to make sure you're not another Kelmad-type of person.
Thank you and get back to me as soon as you read this.
